The loop ends because erasing the window clears the erase bits. Unfortunately in that case the app does a RedrawWindow(RDW_ERASE) inside the WM_ERASEBKGND handler, so the window is marked as needing erase again. The algorithm will probably need to be changed, but the first step would be to write a test case and see how Windows behaves in that case. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
